Greenwood Is still leading the up-country IN
prices paid for cotton. 1916 was the price
eneraliy paid here for the best last week. 1t
will be safe to say that the per diem receipts
for last week will average somewhere between
$50 and 200 bales. Our cotton buyers are wide
awake and the producers may rest assureu e

fore peculiarly fitting that we join In doing
honor to the founder of this most valuable ad-

more varied instruction. The generous dona-

constantly added to and kept abreast with the
